To me it seems like the landscape for Lemmy apps are sort of stagnant. I’m using Voyager and Mlem but I’m not sure if Voyager will get an iOS 26 makeover due to it’s cross platform nature.
So what are you using?
Was on Memmy for Lemmy. Now Arctic.
Voyager, it made it much easier to switch to lemmy after years of using Apollo for Reddit
The website through the web browser. Works well. :)
I almost never use web apps on my phone.
Why not? Web apps usually require less permissions than actual apps.
Also lets you run ad blockers, which is basically required for youtube to be tolerable.
I just use YouTube premium for that
I do the opposite. The less apps I have on my device the better.
I use the browser too, I didn’t think an app existed.
Mlem is the best so far for me

Mlem on iOS and Thunder on Android.
Very happy with Voyager. If that weren’t available, i’d just use the Photon frontend as a PWA
Voyager not getting an iOS 26 makeover is more reason to keep using it
Voyager all the way. It’s simple and fast to use. Never had any issues.
I use Memmy but haven’t tried others. Should I switch to Mlem?
Memmy Is long dead, i am surprised it still opens for you.
density of information and ability to doomscroll are my key criteria and nothing else nails these like Voyager. It’s one of the few softwares i’m happy to pay for. The developer is really active too we got piefed support so fast! And if there are bugs I haven’t run into them.
I use Thunder, the latest stable version for iOS. It works pretty well, and I don’t have issues with the app itself. It has a nice and customizable interface that is quick to parse. It is a paid app (I made the purchase, as I like supporting developers).
Arctic, but the TestFlight expires in 13 days, and the AppStore version was last updated 7 months ago. I’m not complaining, as it is free. However, it’s the only app I’ve tried that has the swipe back option that Apollo had, and I find that really useful. If you want to return to the last post you viewed, from the feed screen you simply swipe from right to left.
Do any other apps have this feature now?
Does Voyager cost for basic?
Swipe back feature works pretty much like Apollo did.
Image treatment is a little weird sometimes.
Works fine on iPad as well as iPhone.
Thanks for the reply. I’ve tried it before and I tried it again just now and for the life of me I could not find a way to swipe to return to the previous post from the main feed. If there is a setting I am missing I’d love to be proven wrong.
Voyager can do this but I’ve never gotten it to work intentionally. I see it happen probably once a day when trying to swipe to upvote a post but I can’t seem to recreate it intentionally.
Edit: I figured it out! You have to swipe from past the edge of the screen. It is hard to do with a case on.
Voyager is free but it has tips, so there are IAPs for that.

Jerboa works great. I haven’t had a strong urge to check out any other app
Connect for lemmy, gets updates from time to time. The developer is active around here and does a great job.
It’s very similar to Rif
I alternate between Voyager and Mlem. Both of them are great, although I feel that voyager is snappier.
